How bail works after a Cincinnati arrest

When the Cincinnati Police Department makes an arrest within the city, the person is transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center at 1000 Sycamore Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202, the county jail run by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, where booking and fingerprinting take place. Misdemeanor and city-ordinance charges are arraigned at the Hamilton County Municipal Court, while felony arrests are bound over to the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas at the courthouse, 1000 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. At arraignment a judge sets bond, which may be a personal-recognizance (OR) release, a 10% cash deposit bond, or a full cash or surety bond requiring a bail bondsman. In Ohio, a licensed surety agent charges a premium that is statutorily limited to 10% of the face amount of the bond (for example, $1,000 on a $10,000 bond), and that premium is fully earned and non-refundable once the defendant is released. The agent posts the surety bond with the court, guaranteeing the defendant's appearance at all future hearings in Cincinnati.
